An analysis of socioeconomic factors affecting avocado production around Lake Victoria Basin of Kenya with special emphasis on flooding and its implications
(KIBU, 2019-06-13)
Climate change which is caused by global warming has become a very important aspect of agricultural production in the world. Some of the impacts of climate change are rising temperatures, droughts, flooding and intense ...
Antibiotic Resistance of Escherichia coli from Humans and Black Rhinoceroses in Kenya
(Springer US, 2019-12-07)
Upsurge of antibiotic resistance in wildlife poses unprecedented threat to wildlife conservation. Surveillance of antibiotic resistance at the human–wildlife interface is therefore needed. We evaluated differences in ...
Impact of Scholar-Practitioners Gap on Research Output in Kenyan Hospitality Industry
(Research Gate, 2019)
The objectives of this study were to establish the extent to which scholars research are relevant to practitioners and
to establish the strategies used by scholars to disseminate research findings for practitioners’ ...
Dewetting Rheology for Determining Viscoelastic Properties of Nonequilibrated Thin Polymer Films
(American Chemical Society, 2019)
We performed systematic dewetting experiments on isotactic poly(para-methylstyrene) (iPpMS) films to explore the temperature dependence of the viscoelastic behavior of these films. We quantified the amount of residual ...

Symmetry Dependent Analytical Pseudopotential for Helium Atom
(2019-11-11)
Electron-electron interaction is the origin of the many-body problems usually encountered in physics and chemistry. Helium atom and other two-electron
systems are the simplest many-body systems in nature. The Schr¨odinger ...
Variability of VTEC Gradient and TEC Rate Index Over Kisumu, Kenya During Selected Quiet and Storm Days of 2013 and 2014
(Science Publishing Group, 2019)
Vertical Total electron content (VTEC) gradient or rate of change of TEC (ROT) and total electron content (TEC)
rate index or rate of change of TEC index (ROTI) can directly be estimated from receiver independent exchange ...
Total electron content and scintillations over Maseno, Kenya, during high solar activity year
(Springer International Publishing, 2019)
Proper characterization of total electron content (TEC) and scintillation is very important to global positioning system (GPS) users in communication, navigation, ionospheric or atmospheric studies. Quiet time variation ...
